WINTER WONDERLAND
hosted by this time around by HELEN
with a theme of
RIBBONS & PEARLS

Our sponsor for this challenge is...
ALL DRESSED UP

2 DIGI'S

I chose to use the image
HAPPY XMAS LITTLE STAR
Which can be found HERE

So here is my inspiration card...

I coloured the image with Copics.
I started with a 5x5 base card, matted and layered the front with some pretty xmas papers.
I tilted the image and the mats. I placed a piece of red striped ribbon across each corner and fastened it to the back. Then I placed 3 red glitter dots in the top right and bottom left corner of the image mat.
Lastly I placed a piece of my favourite, a tiny sprig of Holly in the bottom left corner of the main mat.

And thats my DT card for this time.

I hope you like it and it will give you some inspiration.

I chose the image
PETTICOAT BEAR

Here is my inspiration card

Coloured with Copics as always.
I matted and layered a base card of approximately 6x5 with various papers from my stash.
I used a pretty green/blue and a beige paper cut into various sized strips.
I placed the image in the centre, put a green bow underneath and a small sentiment.
In the top left corner I placed two paper flowers

I matted and layered the front of a 6x6 base card in blue flowery and a pearlescent card.
I wrapped some white lace and blue and white striped ribbon around the front of the mats then placed a bow in the centre in the same striped ribbon.

I used Copic markers to colour him.
I die cut around the image using a fancy die from Marianne Designs.

I placed the die cut image at an angle to the left of the front using sticky foam pads to give it depth.
I placed a small sprig of holly in the bottom left corner and another in the top right corner.
In the bottom right corner I placed a sentiment and put some dabs of glitter stickles. I also put a few spots of stickles on various bits of the snowman too.

Im here with a new challenge post for
LETS CRAFT & CREATE
which starts today.
The theme is
BREAST CANCER AWARENESS/PRETTY IN PINK

There is a lovely prize of some beautiful Petaloo flowers to be won!

Here is my inspiration card

I cut the card using my Silhouette Cameo.

I purchased the file from the Silhouette store.
I cut it out in white then adhered a piece of pink cardstock to the inside
so as to show through the support ribbons.
I cut out a pink support ribbon with a heart on it...
then cut it out again slightly bigger in white to give a shadow effect.
I didnt think it needed anything else.

And thats my DT card for this time.

I hope you like it and it will give you some inspiration.

Thank you for stopping by today
and we look forward to seeing your creations in the challenge.

About Me

I started making jewellery and cards when I was diagnosed with Cervical Cancer in 2009. It helped take my mind off what might happen if the treatment didnt work. I found I enjoyed it immensely!. Jewellery making wasnt my thing, I have arthritis in my hands so picking up tiny beads was not always possible lol. So I decided on the cards. The treatment DID work and here I am 8 years later with a lot of side effects to contend with but still alive.I enjoy my card making immensely and have made a lot of friends, hopefully I will make a lot more through blogging and my Design Team work.
